Staring Competition

Hey! check this out...time for a real story!

Last night, my beautiful next door neighbor came over to my place and we had a few chu hi's. No sex. She has a boyfriend and I don't play around with another guys girlfriend.

Well, after about a few...she said..." Hey! You have bushy eyebrows!"

Well, she then had to trim them until she thought I was better looking.

Today, the girls won't stop " checking me out" and at work...they are flirting with me. No...its not because I look like a women! I still have man eyebrows!

Before...my eyebrows looks just like any other American guys brows. Not heavy. Just regular. Man brows!

Well, now they look...smooth. Clean, trim. I mean trimmer!

This is what Japanese girls like. I thought it was money!

So when some stupid Japanese guy with an attitude is looking at you, and you think it is because you are a gaijin....just look in the mirror. It just may be your eye brows are not Japanese friendly!

I beat you to it. I have been plucking my eyebrows for a year before i came to japan. I used to have a monobrow and occasionaly trimmed it but. As i said a year ago I really started. As it happens I left my tweezers at home so when i came here i bought one with a sissors and comb. It cam with an instruction book on how to trim it japanese style. I decided against it as already My style is pretty good. And anyway its gaijin staring maybe they think i have geigh eyebrows as no american or european would admit to doing it in their home country...

Well, the only reason I did my brows was because a girl did it for me.

I am not sure if I can even do it!

Need a girlfriend to cut my brows!

Get the template--it's cheaper. :P

Although that is a great idea, it is not ideal.

A girlfriend cutting my eye brows seems so
kinky!

She is naked while cutting by the way....

Now, tell me more about this template?! :P

:

I get my mono-brow cut at least once a week by a naked lovely. However the D.I.Y. goes as follows...

I've seen on Japanese TV, guy doing in a 3-step process.
1. Using electric clippers set to the longest setting (1/3 inch or longer), trim the entire brow.
2. Place the template over the eyebrow and draw in the desired outline with eyebrow pencil.

3. With Japanese straight razor, shave to the "correct" outline.

Template tools are available at all Japanese drug stores. Ask for the special "DIY-Trim-Eyebrows-and-Slit--Wrists-Cause-I'm-Gaijin Kit"(tm).

But wait! Could there now be an auto trimmer? -


Maybe not !...

Or you can just let it all hang out:

Ok, but how about about an auto trimmer for all those highschool girls who curl and trim their lashes on the trains???

Question: what's a "chu hi's"? Chu is a kiss but it is fairly early in the morning here and I may not be fully awake, can someone explain to me?

Anyway, many of my Japanese girls would trim my facial hair. It must be something with hair that they may dislike. Whatever it is, it's fine by me as long as the end result is what I want.

It's a fruity, Zima-type beverage. They have it here in Korea too, but for some reason it's called Hi-Chu here. Same label design and fonts (with Korean added), but they reverse the name. I have no idea why.

Here's the Korean cans:



I will always and forever associate this stuff with walking around Shinjuku with this guy from Ohio (who was staying at the same ryokan) as we got buzzed and took pics of damned near everything in sight.

Darn, I'm so disappointed. I should say, rather, embarrassed. How can I delete my previous post?

Korean copycats put Japanese to shame, BUT maybe it was invented in Korea and copied by the Japanese ...just like the zillions of things Japanese ripped off from Korea hundreds of years ago. Then again Chu-Hai could be a Chinese invention the heterodox (Confucian/Taoist) philosopher, the illustrious Chu-hi (A.D. 1130-1200).

I've been heterodoxically following Chu-Hi(tm) since late 1983!

gomi: in the states, you don't say "sup" to a woman on the street unless you're a wanna-be thug and think the girl likes that kind of stuff. basically, most women in the states would never respond to such a phrase, so I'd say giving those dudes in tokyo the cold shoulder would be the best response. don't reward their stupidity with even a witty response, it will only encourage them.


neonecro: the last time a black person walked up to me and said, "what's up my nigga?" my response was, "fuck you. that's what's up."





(I'm not joking, this is really what I do.)

Yeah, they do excel at that. The unofficial motto (coined by me this past weekend while out drinking with friends) of all Korean business is - Don't innovate - duplicate!

It's true in most anything you can buy here - snack foods, drinks, cars, electronics, furniture, clothes, watches, luggage, purses, etc....

They also make the best mistakes in knockoffs too. I've got a friend who collects them. He's got a Puma shirt that says "Fuma," a shirt with the Nike logo that says "Fuma," and a Mickey Mouse pencil case that says "Mickey House." I may have to start collecting some of those myself.

Sheeee-it, that Mickey Mouse is a copy of a copy!
I've been to Mickey House(tm) many times here in Tokyo to visit my down-and-out FG friends doing the Eikaiwa gigolo gig there. See their"HP" here.

We want to become the sole company in the world that exists purely for the sake of children. MIKI HOUSE is not just a maker of apparel, but a company that is earnestly thinking about what can be done to improve the environment and surroundings of children. On the other hand, looking to create new products that will make children happy, the channels of the MIKI HOUSE Group will continue to grow. The MIKI HOUSE brand is not just clothing, but it holds limitless possibilities. Each one of our employees enjoys the business of creating children's dreams. The place where this desire can be encountered is our stores. Even here, once again, we are not just a clothing store but also, a publishing company, a violin training center, a dessert boutique, a day care classroom, and a nature camp, on the whole, a place that ushers in the expansion of dreams that connect with "the world of MIKI HOUSE".

Something that I think that is uniquely Korean is chocolate covered sunflower seeds.. a friend brought some back from korea for me and they were one of the yummiest snacks I have ever tasted.. can't remember the name but they were in a little soft pack with a sunflower on it (oddly enough)

If anyone can find them in Japan - I will buy you a beer.

I think I have seen them my Co-op's, I was looking for sunflower seeds as I like them. BUt all i could fins is what looks like yogurt covered ones, chocolate ones and smelly chinese spiced ones. Bleaugh I hate the chinese ones most of all. My chinese friends eat sacks of them. They smell like vanilla and chocolate but taste like gravy.

Something I wish I could find in Korea that I had in Japan is Mexican Tacos flavored Pringles. The only place I've seen them is Japan and they are soooooo good.

We get some non-standard flavors here, Crispy Consomme for one, but not the one I want. Wanna do a food exchange via the mail, GG?

I prefer the curry ones. mmmm... MSG

Yes please - care packs across the Sea of Japan (or whatever it's name is this week)

[American Oyaji]

Anyone need anything from the U.S. of A?

CS Always needs a supply of Brown Sugar.. He does make yummy cookies from them!!

Ah, that's the other name. It's Crispy Curry and Spicy Consomme. I thought I was getting something mixed up.

Cool deal. Let me track down the seeds and I'll get back to you. It's Chusok this week, so everybody's away for Korean Thanksgiving/Harvest Festival, meaning many shops are closed. I don't mind too much though. My second week back and I get a 5-day weekend. Whoo-hoo!

It's probably still the "East Sea," but who knows. They'll probably never be happy here until it's called the "Vast Sea of the Superior Korean People" or some such thing.

I'm halfway through the first bag... we ran out of vanilla extract! I bought some Japanese vanilla oil last weekend... we'll see this Sunday how it turns out (expect some more in the mail real soon!)

I always thought that "Wide Oceans make Good Neighbors" might be a better name for it.

You should try to make Anzac Biscuits too while you are in baking mode.

(P.s. rolled oats is just regular oatmeal)

They are really easy (great for your niece to help with) and really yummy - plus for you - the added bonus of a bonafide millitary connection...

Hint - Make sure you only use teaspoon sized ones and space them well on the cookie sheet as they really spread - I have been known to end up with one big cookie.
